I tried to post a screenshot but failed. But anyone who wants to hear it and see it for themselves need only go to tv.jw.org and tune in to the May broadcast. Fast forward to the 7:30 mark. Pay attention particularly at 7:44

if you can get the close caption on, pause the video.

When you see Tony with the words underneath...

"well beyond the intent of the scriptures"

Let it sink in...

Watchtower's upcoming teaching

by biblexaminer in

newest watchtower revelations from heaven indicate the importance of color in teaching the truth about god.. the governing body has prayed fervently over this new teaching and jehovah's witnesses the world around receive it gratefully as "food at the proper time".. in view of the importance placed on color, as found in god's holy word the bible, the governing body has deemed it necessary for a new understanding on important spiritual matters.

(see link).... http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001009?q=color&p=par.

we can see from the aforementioned information that color in the scriptures should not be neglected, as it plays a vital role in understanding god's plan for mankind.

In unrelated news, the Governing Body has determined that it is necessary to litigate for Brother Prince's fortunes, as Brother Prince's lyrics make definite reference to Christ and his understanding of the Kingdom which he could only have gotten at the Kingdom Hall. Thus it is clear to all that Brother Prince intended his fortunes be placed in the caring hands of God's messengers.

Newest Watchtower revelations from heaven indicate the importance of color in teaching The Truth about God.

The Governing Body has prayed fervently over this new teaching and Jehovah's Witnesses the world around receive it gratefully as "food at the proper time".

In view of the importance placed on color, as found in God's Holy Word the Bible, the Governing Body has deemed it necessary for a new understanding on important spiritual matters. (see link)...

http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001009?q=color&p=par

We can see from the aforementioned information that color in the Scriptures should not be neglected, as it plays a vital role in understanding God's plan for mankind. The Governing Body is pleased to release this new information to God's people, especially so close to the end.

As is clear, with this "increased light", specific colors in the Bible have important meaning.

For instance,

"White is the color most often mentioned in the Scriptures. Besides its descriptive use, it also serves as a symbol of righteousness and spiritual cleanness. (Re 3:4; 7:9, 13, 14) The white horse, as portrayed at Revelation 6:2 and 19:11, symbolizes clean, righteous warfare under Jesus Christ’s direction."

Yes white is so very important. However,

"Purple and reddish purple are often referred to in the Scriptures, although there are no distinctions drawn between the many varieties of purple shades produced by the different dyes or dye methods used. (Ex 25:4; Nu 4:13; Eze 27:7, 16; Da 5:7, 29; Mr 15:17, 20; Lu 16:19; Re 17:4) Because of its costliness, this color often was associated with or symbolized riches, honor, and royal majesty."

Purple, therefore correctly represents our King's "royal majesty"and hence clearly, and unquestionably "the thousand years" when Jesus sets all matters straight on the Earth. Therefore, the Governing Body has determined that it is, without question highly important that Jehovah's people on earth recognize things according to their color. Such being the case, the color "purple" correctly designates the 1000 years of Christ's rule.

Hence, "we must advertise, advertise, advertise" Jesus' Purple Reign.

I'm at the Watchtower Study and I have a few questions.

by biblexaminer in

as far as the "memorial" goes... .

should an anointed follower of jesus share the cup with unbelievers?

would the cup not be polluted by an outsider, invited in to a sacred thing?.

biblexaminer

And what about children? Do we pass it to them to see if they feel the need to partake?

'annointed children'

Should one who is "truly anointed" share the cup with “those who mistakenly think that they are anointed... may have mental or emotional problems that lead them to believe that they will rule with Christ in heaven.”

Coming to terms with the Watchtower experience

by Lee Elder in

it is a challenge coming to terms with your experience as a jehovah's witness.

if you were born and raised as a jw, and your parents were true believers, the impact on your life is profound, lasting, and largely negative.

in some cases quite abusive emotionally, spiritually, financially, educationally and yes, even sexually.. i recently watched "trumbo", and was quite moved by dalton trumbo's speech to the screen writers guild in 1970. here is an excerpt that i think is quite relevant to this topic:.

biblexaminer

Lee Elder. Like most here, I agree with your sentiments, up until the last paragraph.

You mention Ray Franz and his feelings. You would be incorrect in what you say there. Firstly, Ray was explicit in that there is no "organization" as a separate entity from the people "of" the organization. The "organization" IS the people.

Such that it is, the fact the leaders are corrupt and the organization is corrupt is not a strange concept. The organization did NOT victimize the leaders. The leaders are they who caused, using the organization, the victims to be victimized.

Further on Ray. I had opportunity, both in letters and on the telephone, to discuss this topic with Ray. From my personal experience I can tell you that you have not reflected the man or his evolved beliefs in what you say.

For example, Ray, in the beginning, as is demonstrated in his writings, felt that the organization could be saved. He even intimated that anyone involved with the organization was a victim in a broad sense, thus it could be said that he felt, early on, that even the top brass were victims.

However, if you watch the videos of Ray later on, you see that he changed this opinion greatly.

I saw it personally. I wrote him almost 20 years ago and told him of what I was doing locally. He wrote me back and objected, "why would you want to do that" (I don't disclose what IT is). What I was doing was anti-watchtower activity.

However, as time went by, I found that Ray put the whole UN affair in CofC. I contacted him about this.

The UN affair was not his experience. It was not his crisis of conscience. It was mine, it was others, it was not his.

He had come full circle, as is demonstrated in this act, and in his later videos. His interest eventually became the exposing of watchtower leading to its distruction.

Thus, he pointed the finger squarely at the governing body from whom he sprung. They are NOT victims. They are the victimizers.
